New Releases: Rayhaan Azul and Pacific Aloha - The Arabian Perfumes of Summer 2026
Two bottles. An entire summer.
Rayhaan is one of the fastest-growing Arab perfume houses in the fragrance community in recent years, and you can see why. Each release is built with a clear intention: to create high-quality fragrances that rival Western niche fragrances, using carefully selected materials and an unmistakable visual aesthetic.
For the summer of 2026, Rayhaan launched two fragrances that have now arrived at Essensio: Azul and Pacific Aloha . Two perfumes with different personalities, complementary in occasion, and both made for the months to come.
Rayhaan Azul: Pure Freshness
Notes: Lemon, Bergamot (top) · Grapefruit Blossom (heart) · Sandalwood, Calone (base)
Azul is the definition of a well-crafted summer fragrance. It opens with a photorealistic lemon: a vibrant, juicy lemon that looks freshly cut. Bergamot adds citrus depth and a softness that softens the intensity of the opening.
At its heart, grapefruit blossom introduces a delicate floral-citrus dimension that maintains freshness without becoming banal. The base is where Azul distinguishes itself from the category: sandalwood softens and calms, while calone (the aquatic molecule that defines the oceanic fresco category) creates a clean and persistent sea breeze quality.
It is described by the community as being similar to Dior Homme Cologne, one of the finest men's fragrances ever created, with the advantage of slightly greater longevity and an affordable price.
Who it's for: Men who want a quality citrus-aquatic fragrance for everyday summer use - work, weekends, after the beach.
Performance: 5 to 7 hours on the skin, moderate and elegant projection.
Price: €40 (100ml) · Also available in Pocket format

Rayhaan Pacific Aloha: A Tropical Trip in a Spray
Notes: Blood Orange, Melon, Lemon (top) · Watermelon, Coconut (heart) · Amberwood, Cocoa, Marine Notes (base)
If Azul represents a cool morning, Pacific Aloha represents an afternoon at the beach. Fruity, tropical, with an energy that evokes carefree summers and palm-fringed destinations.
The opening is an explosion of summer fruits: blood orange and melon in a sweet and vibrant citrus, accompanied by lemon that maintains the luminosity. The heart of watermelon and coconut is where the fragrance becomes truly distinctive: sweet without being cloying, tropical without being artificial. It is often compared to Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill – one of the most coveted summer fragrances on the market, at a fraction of the price.
The amberwood base, marine notes, and cocoa complete the fragrance with surprising depth: warm, soft, with a sweetness that lingers on the skin for hours.
Who it's for: Unisex, but ideal for those who want an expressive and memorable summer fragrance. Perfect for vacations, weekends, and summer nights.
Performance: 6 to 8 hours with good projection. We recommend maceration for 2 to 4 weeks for best results.
Price: €40 (100ml) · Also available in Pocket format

Two Perfumes, One Collection
What makes this launch special is the complementarity of the two fragrances. Azul is restrained, elegant, minimalist: a perfume that works in any summer context without ever being overpowering. Pacific Aloha is expressive, tropical, generous: the choice for when you want your perfume to be the first thing someone notices about you.
Together, they cover all facets of summer: from the office to the beach, from morning to night, from the workday to unplanned vacations.
